The Shooting Menu
Other Camera Settings
Settings other than Single can not be used in combination with BSS ( 91), white-bal-
ance bracketing ( 107), or noise reduction ( 109). Multi-shot 16, Ultra HS, 5 shot
buffer, and Intvl timer shooting can not be used in combination with auto-exposure
bracketing (
107–108). Digital zoom ( 18) can not be used at settings of Multi-
shot 16 or Ultra HS.
Focus, Exposure, and White Balance
At settings other than Single and Intvl timer shooting, focus, exposure, and white
balance are determined by the fi rst picture in each series.
Ultra HS
During shooting, progress is shown by the zoom indicator in
the monitor, from S (start) to E (end). To interrupt shooting
before one hundred pictures have been recorded, lift your
fi nger from the shutter-release button.
The Memory Buffer
During shooting, pictures are stored in a temporary memory buffer before being trans-
ferred to the memory card for permanent storage. You can continue to take pictures as
long as room is available in the buffer. The number of pictures that can be stored in the
buffer varies with image quality and size: the maximum that can be stored at FINE /
is about eleven pictures. When the buffer is full, a (wait) icon will be displayed and
shooting will be suspended. More pictures can be taken as soon as enough memory
becomes available in the buffer.
Continuous
At settings other than Single, the current “continuous” setting is shown by an icon in
the shooting display. At settings of Continuous H, Continuous L, Ultra HS, 5 shot
buffer, and Intvl timer shooting, a
icon appears in the control panel. A icon
appears in the control panel when Multi-shot 16 is selected.
